 When turning off the fog of war, cloaked ships will still appear visible for an opponent, once inside the already visible map space of him. You will still need to use a [[detector_mechanics|detector]] to uncover the >>invisible<< unit, in order to be able to target it. You will however, not need to uncover it in order to beam in... When turning off the fog of war, cloaked ships will still appear visible for an opponent, once inside the already visible map space of him.

 +===== Line of Sight of a Team Member is not Shown Entirely =====
 +Usually you can see all that your team members see, too. This goes with one exception: If a part is uncovered for a player only due to an active [[Romulan Spy]], then these units and stations are not part of the shared line of sight. Meaning a ship that is very much visible for your team mate due to being spied upon is still not visible for you, if it is cloaked.
 ===== Freighters Behavior ===== ===== Freighters Behavior =====
 All [[Freighter|Freighters]] will continue gathering Dilithium from a newly chosen Dilithium Moon, once the Moon they are working on runs dry. They will select the nearest Moon still having Dilithium. That usually leads to the situation, that two empty Freighters and one partially filled one will head into the direction of a new moon. They will gather Dilithium there and return it to the [[Mining Stations|Mining Station]] they were returning the Ore to before. If that partially filled Freighter does empty entirely and stay at the Mining Station instead of heading out and filling the rest of their cargo hold, you can be sure that there is no Dilithium out there anywhere any more. All [[Freighter|Freighters]] will continue gathering Dilithium from a newly chosen Dilithium Moon, once the Moon they are working on runs dry.

 ===== Units Vanish From Control Groups ===== ===== Units Vanish From Control Groups =====
 When grouping your ships into control groups (''CTRL'' + ''//digit-key//''), selecting them is supposed to make you get in control of the ships designated to be part of that group. However, once under the effect of the [[Holo-Emitter]] or [[Temporal Stasis Field]] or the [[Computer Override]], units will no longe be marked when using that digit key. This will return to normal, once the effect of the special weapon wears off. When grouping your ships into control groups (''CTRL'' + ''//digit-key//''), selecting them is supposed to make you get in control of the ships designated to be part of that group.

 +===== Units Returning to Control Groups =====
 +The opposite is also true. If you lose a ship to an opponent, e.g. by beaming in crew from his ships or using other means of taking over the ship, the control group is actually still stored. Meaning, if you regain control over that ship, it will also be part of the control group once again. Only exception: You were reassigning the control group in the meantime.

 The AI can cloak [[phoenix|Phoenix class ships]], but human players cannot. See section [[#Phoenix Bug]] on the matter. The AI can cloak [[phoenix|Phoenix class ships]], but human players cannot. See section [[#Phoenix Bug]] on the matter.
